The point in life..

So I'm really confused. What is the point in life? I mean; you're given birth to, face a bunch of hardships throughout life and then die. It is evidently the most pointless thing in all of humanity, right?
"Surely there's more to it then that?" - a number of people ask this very question but in actual fact there is nothing more to add to the situation. There is no evidence to state 'oh how wonderful' life is and that is solely because it is not. I recently commented on a blog entry saying something along the lines of 'you do matter and your life is worth living' and I still most definitely stand by that. Although I do believe each an every single one of us are valuable and all of our life's are worth living because they're ours - only ours, I do still question myself. If you think about it.. I mean, REALLY think about it; we are all simply just a minuscule part of something so big and so miraculous that at the end of the day, individually - we do not matter. Together, as a nation we do but individually.. I'm sorry to say, we don't.

Hm.. some food for thought? Aye??
